§ WEBSITE MAINTENANCE

Website maintenance, done properly.

Updates, fixes, and checks on a steady schedule, with a backup before every change and nothing done blind.

All prices in USD. Maintenance comes with hosting in every care plan.

§ 01 · WORDPRESS

WordPress, properly maintained.

WordPress sits inside every care plan we sell. The platform-specific work that keeps a WordPress site fast, current, and secure is below.

PHP & CORE

  • WordPress core, PHP, and the database engine kept on supported, security-patched release lines.
  • Core updates applied behind a backup and a compatibility check. Never blind on a Friday.
  • Cadence ramps with the plan: Starter for core only, Growth adds a monthly health check, Business runs major upgrades through staging first.

PLUGINS & THEMES

  • Audited inventory: what is installed, what it does, when it was last updated.
  • Abandoned plugins phased out before they break. Replacements proposed in writing.
  • Custom code lives in a child theme or a site-specific plugin. Core and theme files stay untouched.
  • Premium plugin licences run through your account and stay current.

HOSTING TUNED FOR WP

  • Full-page cache, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3 by default. Same as everything we host.
  • WP-Cron replaced with system cron so scheduled tasks run on time, not whenever a visitor turns up.
  • Login hardening, file integrity checks, and request-level rate limiting on every site.
  • PHP worker pool sized to your traffic, not to a shared default.

TAKEOVERS

Inheriting a WordPress site from a previous developer or freelancer is normal here. We audit the plugin set, theme structure, custom code, and backup story, then migrate onto biro hosting on a day we agree, with no perceivable downtime.

STATIC CONVERSION

When a site is right for it, we convert WordPress to a static frontend on Astro or Next.js. Nothing to update, no plugins to chase, and load times usually drop because pages are served as files. Not every site qualifies (live admin search, comments, and busy e-commerce often rule it out), so we start with an audit.

§ 03 · QUESTIONS

Maintenance questions.

Do you work with WordPress?
Yes. WordPress is part of every care plan. Core, plugin, and theme updates run on a steady schedule, with a backup before every change and a compatibility check after each major release. PHP and database upkeep are included.
Can you maintain a site hosted somewhere else?
Maintenance comes as part of a care plan, which includes hosting, so the site moves onto our hosting after a short review. If a move isn't possible, ask. We'll tell you honestly whether it can work.
Can you take over a WordPress site you didn't build?
Yes, after a short technical review. We audit the plugin set, the backup story, and the hosting situation, then move the site over and put it on a care plan. Most takeovers settle inside a week.
Can I start small?
Yes. Starter Care covers a single brochure site and grows with you. Plans can step up at any time without a re-onboarding fee.
